[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With the problems of metro ridership, why add the purple line? Seems irresponsible to take on all this debt to add a line when insufficient funds to cover current costs. [/quote] The line is being built by Md, not by WMATA, metrorail finances are not directly involved. [/quote] Uh...not exactly. MD is low on funds, not funding schools properly and Hogan does not want to give MD's fair share to metro. Yet they are funding part of the Purple Line as an economic development experiment. It will NOT take cars off the road - or maybe the cites are very negligible - like 1 or 2%. It will increase car traffic due to all the new development that will go in near Purple Line stations. And there will be NO old trees left - just a HOT bike trail - IF that gets built. Not holding my breath. [/quote]
